I love Jimmy - but I'm just happy we chose a direction.

Yeah. Straight into a wall. That's our direction.

NBA hell is also churning through high draft picks and young players and not making any meaningful progress.

Meh, at least it'll be a different level of NBA hell. Constantly shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic to sneak into the playoffs and get blasted by any actual contenders (if the Bulls even survive the opening round) has gotten real old.

YES. And if the Bulls are terrible odds are you'll get some good talent.

It looks like you guys will start the rebuild this season (well, next...D WADE!), but you already have a great piece in LaVine, and two solid pieces in Dunn and #7.

You're definitely trolling

Huh? I am not.

#7 is such a reach for Markkanen.

Why trade up to #7 for him?

You have to run it into the ground to rebuild. Otherwise, you just go back to where you started.

He'll be a bust.

You just know it.

I keep saying you guys are underrating LaVine. Come Feb. you guys will be thrilled we traded for him.

You know there was a time when the FO just bought a pick like this without trading anything.

Bulls could learn from this, when you have a good team, push the chips in.

Learn from what how to lose in the 2nd round? Which is what this deal gets them. I think the Bulls know that one.

Dunn is a "solid piece"?

He separated the quality from quantity with his young guys.

You're confident on a guy who is heavily athleticism dependent coming off a torn ACL? Did you miss Derrick Rose?

Terrible. Another stupid soft Euro in a draft loaded with domestic talent.
